In roman numerals, when an item of lesser value is placed in front of an item of greater value, that lesser value is subtracted from the total value. In this case, you have 11511. The VII represents 7 (5+1+1). The II before the VII notes the subtraction of 1+1 from 7, totalling 5, So, you have 5, add 2, and then basically subtract that 2 again.

IIVII = 5

ORRR someone was trying to make a really cool looking M! IIVII |Technically, that number doesn't exist. If you want to say 5, you just say V.
